Domains, Adalo REALLY?

May anyone tell me why it takes forever for domain to load into?

It’s been 2.5 hours.

Anyone tell me why?

its not adalo its your host

mine loaded within minutes. I have godaddy hosting.

Hi @B0untiful_26,

To set up Custom domain, first you need to add a CNAME record for the domain name at your DNS (domain name server). Usually you need to do that in your domain registrar/hoster’s account page. As it is said, you need to add CNAME record pointing at “hosting.adalo.com”.
And after that you set up the custom domain on Adalo side.

One note though - you’re trying to set up the CNAME for “luxn.site” custom domain. “Luxn.site” record is considered as a “root domain”, and most of the registrars/hosters do not allow creating CNAME records for root domains. The only exception I know is CloudFlare.

So I would advice to use other name, like web.luxn.site or app.luxn.site, which will point to your Adalo app.

Best,
Victor.

Hi @B0untiful_26,

Unfortunately, you’ve set up the domain in GoDaddy incorrectly.

The value in “Host” on the left in your GoDaddy screenshot means, that you’ve set up the record for
luxn.site.luxn.site.
And it points to hosting.adalo.com:

$ nslookup -q=CNAME luxn.site.luxn.site
Server: 192.168.0.1
Address: 192.168.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
luxn.site.luxn.site canonical name = hosting.adalo.com.

But there is no CNAME record for the luxn.site itself:

$ nslookup -q=CNAME luxn.site
Server: 192.168.0.1
Address: 192.168.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can’t find luxn.site: No answer

Also, as I’ve said in my previous post: most registrars/hosters do not allow to have a CNAME record for root domain. So most probably you will not be able to create a CNAME record for luxn.site itself in GoDaddy console.

I would advice to use some other name for your web app, something like www.luxn.site or web.luxn.site or app.luxn.site.

Best,
Victor

So I pay for a new domain?

Hi @B0untiful_26 ,

I’m sorry, but I can’t understand why did you make such conclusion.

You do not have to pay for new domain.
You need to set up the correct records for your existing domain luxn.site.

Please read my messages above.
As I’ve said: I would advice to use some other name for your web app, something like www.luxn.site or web.luxn.site or app.luxn.site. You can easily create a CNAME record for app.luxn.site in your existing domain. You just need to create a new CNAME record, and put app for example, and point it to hosting.adalo.com.
Then you will have your custom domain app.luxn.site ready.

Best regards, Victor.

You need to be on a paid plan to add your own custom domain.
